The Heverleebos, Meerdaalwoud and Egenhovenbos together form the largest mixed deciduous forest in Flanders, good for no less than 2,050 hectares of nature at a stone's throw from Leuven. You walk and cycle through stately avenues and deeply incised forest paths. Ancient oaks tower above you, while a climb up the watchtower at De Torenvalk reveals the forest at a glance. Along the way, surprising tree sculptures by Ad Wouters pop up, as if you were stepping through a modern fairy tale.
